Cinderella’s Carriage Makes a Fast Trip – To the Tonys

Most people know the story of Cinderella, and how she had to race away from the prince’s ball in her gleaming carriage to get home before midnight. Today her horse-drawn vehicle is still racing against the clock, but this time the challenge involves getting to the Tony Awards on time.

The carriage and its horse are among the set pieces included in a Cinderella performance during the awards show tonight on CBS. But it also has to be on stage at the Broadway Theater for regular performances. The result is several trips back and forth between the theater and Radio City Music Hall, where the awards ceremony takes place.
